SANITARY OTJ'SPLTDOR.

Application filed May 24, 1912.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, HARRY H. CRAFT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cedar Rapids, in the county oi Linn and State 01" lowa. have invented certain new and uset'ul improvements in Sanitary Cuspidors, of which the following a speciti ca tion.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in sanitary cuspidors.

An object of this invention is provision of a sanitary cuspidor including a bowl and means for directing a continuous flow of water therethrough.

Another object of this invention is a provision of a cuspidor such as described which will. be neat and attractive in appearance, simple and inexpensive to manufacture, re liable and etlicient in use and readily operated.

With the above and other objects in view this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formations, combinations and arrangements of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is top plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a vertical, longitudinal, sectional view thereof. Fig. 4: is a transverse sectional view taken on line tl of Fig. 1, and Fig. 5 is a similar view taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by similar characters of reference, the numeral 1O designates generally my improved cuspidor which comprises a base 11 from which extends a vertical concentric stand ard 12 which gradually increases in diame.

ter toward its upper end and terminates in an enlarged head 13 which is substantially elliptical in cross section and circular in plan View. The upper side of this head 13 is concaved as shown at it to produce a bowl 15 from the central. point of which extends a depending passage 16 which runs the entire length of the standard 12 and terminates through the lower side of the base 11. A discharge pipe 17 is connected to the lower end of the passage 16 in any suit-able man-, her and is led oil to any desired locality as shown by the numeral 18. A shell 19 is formed integrally upon the base 11 and extends vertically in concentric relation to the standard 12 being similarly shaped in contour Specification of Letters Patent.

and extending in spaced relation thercoi and to the head 13 to produce a surrounding passage :20 which communicates as clearly shown by the numeral 21 with the bowl 113. One side of the base 11 is formed with an eccentric opening 22 which leads to the passage QO and within this opening is secured a water supply pipe 2;, which leads to any suitable wat r supply pipe as shown by the numeral 251-. The upper side 01 the shell 19 is formed with an opening 25 which corresponds in size to the width of the bowl 15, the edges thereof being disposed in vertical alinenient with the edges of the bowl 15. @bviously when water is supplied to the passage 20 same will well upwardly and flow into the bowl 15 obviously cleansing the same and passing out again through central passage 16 off the standard 12.

It should be understood in this connection that various minor changes in the details of construction can be resorted to within the scope of the appended drawings without departing from or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

From the foregoing disclosures taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it will be manifest that a sanitary cuspidor is provided which will fulfil. all ot the nec essary requirements of such a device.

Having thus fully described this invention what 15 claim as new and desire to pr0- tect by Letters Patentis:

1. A sanitary cuspidor comprising a base, a standard formed thereon. an enlarged head formed upon the standard, said head being concaved. and producing a bowl, said standard having a passage extending theretl'irough and communicating with the bowl, a shell formed upon the base and extending in spaced relation to the stancard and the bowl, said shell having an opening formed therein in communication with the bowl, means of supplying fluid to the passage between the standard and the shell and discharge means connected to the passage within the standard.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a sanitary ouspidor comprising a base, a concentric standard extending vertically from said base, said standard gradually increasing in diameter toward the upper end thereof and terminating in an enlarged head, said head having a concave recess formed therein and producing a resultant bowl, said standard being further provided with a central passage communicating With the bowl and and having its edges in vertical alinement extending centrally through the base, a shell With the edges of said bowl. 10 formed upon said base and surrounding In testimony whereof I afiix my signature standard in spaced relation thereto said in presence of two Witnesses shell conforming in curvature to the curvw HARRY H.
